Giant Build-a-Bear Kuromi Costs at Least $128

Build-a-Bear continues to make and sell giant Sanrio character stuffed animals, and it announced that it brought back its huge Kuromi plush. This is a gigantic toy that first debuted about a year ago in March 2024. It’s now back on March 11, 2025, with a $128 standard version and one that costs $134.50 and includes a bow.

This Kuromi stands at 36 inches tall. As such, she can’t wear standard Build-a-Bear clothing. The only accessory option available at the retailer is a “gifting bow” with that is purple with pink skull accents, lavendar hearts, and little versions of the character on it. That can be bought in the bundle or alone for $6.50. While it is large, it can arrive either stuffed or unstuffed, so you could have it filled at a store.

The size does involve some other limitations. You can’t choose economy shipping, so only standard, express, and next day options are available. There are also extra charges if you go with the faster two options. You also can only get it online. It won’t be in-stores, and you can’t pick up one you purchased from a location in a mall or something.

Here’s how the Build-a-Bear giant Kuromi plush looks, with the pictures of it offering a sense of scale due to a person holding the Sanrio stuffed animal in them. 

The last huge Sanrio stuffed animal to appear there was one of Cinnamoroll. The rerun of that toy appeared in January 2025. We also got to meet a big Pompompurin too. That showed up in October 2024.  

The giant Kuromi plush is now back at Build-a-Bear, and the store is selling both it and a standard size stuffed animal of the Sanrio character now. You can only find the huge version of the character online.
